When I lived in Ireland, I had difficulty explaining how insanely popular sushi was in Vancouver. Eventually, I hit upon this metaphor: there’s a sushi restaurant in Vancouver for every pub in Dublin. The Irish would just nod in quiet awe of our Asian fusion.
MapEire shows pricing and location information for petrol stations and parking lots around Ireland. More importantly, they offer vital information on the cost of a pint of lager or Guinness. Clearly their data set is pretty small, as they only display about 60 pubs, and there are apparently over 900 in Dublin.
Could some local design a similar mashup for Vancouver, featuring sushi joints, coffee joints and, I don’t know, joint joints?
